Justice ( "Justiz" ) Headgear in Period Photos

I just noticed that there isn't a thread about wartime pictures of Third Reich justice men , so here's a start
Justice visor caps are rare and most of the times found with the wrong insignia and cap cords , especially the cord with the gold / green segments.....
Many ( post-war ) variations of these cords can be found on justice visors : 2 segments gold - 2 segments green , 1 segment gold - 3 segments green but according to the regulations the cord must have 2 segments dark green and 1 segment gold !

The ( large ) state eagle is in gold , as well as the gold pebbled buttons holding the leather chin strap or the cap cord.

One should not that the color for the so-called Strafvollzugsdienst (SVD) is field-grey
for Justizwachtmeisterdienst (JWD) the earlier noted dark green-grey. The color for
the cap band is resp. for SVD dark-green; for JWD black.

A quick survey for the piping colors:
SVD = crimson;
JWD = bright green (for example for the Amtsgericht - AG), but also in use with Landgericht - LG
and Oberlandesgericht - OLG. For Volksgerichtshof - VGH = crimson and for Reichsgericht -
RG = dark-red.

And the female justice personnel ( "Beamtinnen ") had their own " Schiffchen ".
These caps had piping on the left side , the piping was the same pattern as the cord on the visor cap but without the fastening loops and glider knots on both sides ( see the text between the red lines ).

Theo, here a "helping hand" about the field-cap for females from the
"Dienstbekleidungsvorschrift" (DBeklV) - (AV.d.RJM from June 3, 1942
as 2044 - V s 1 484), the description:

I have much more information about justice, but this has to wait until
I am writing the volume for "Headgear of Hitler's Germany" when
time is given me and Bender to finish that particular volume (10 or so)
and the others in "writing stage" (6, 7, 8 and 9)! At this moment Bender
is working with the lay-out for my "Third Reich Reichsbahn Eagles".
I am checking and correcting right now the first 120 pages for this book.

It would be great to see a photo from a female with her "uniform" with
field-cap. This is an unbelievable rarity, not mentioning an actual cap!!

Nimmergut was not quite correct. For example he mentions the eagle
to be from metal, but the regulation says woven or embroidered. Also
the color for his cap has another color. He rested on the color for the
males, but the dress for the women was dark-blue (possibly merely
resting on the color for the uniform for the "Wachtruppe bei den
Strafgefangenenlagern im Emsland" (the guards for the prisoners
camps at Emsland). They also did wear dark-blue, according the 1942
uniform-regulation.
